This is my most viewed reel of 2021… is it the hypnotising aspect of it? Is it the right duration to captivate people’s attention? Is it the background and lighting? I wish I knew what makes it so popular.
This fascinating experiment is pure science magic – the water beads have the same index of refraction as water, so light passing through will be refracted similarly by the water and the water beads.
It’s a very simple experiment that even toddlers can do and be fascinated by (Nina was 3 years old).
